Note: MP3 is a music compression technology that reduces a song's file size without noticeable effect in the quality of the sound. Through compression algorithms, the MP3 format makes it easy for you to store several more songs than you would find on a conventional audio CD. In fact, an MP3 CD can contain as much music as ten standard audio CDs on just one disc, which can then be organised into folders on a PC before being stored on the disc.

Music files on an MP3 CD are played according to the folder structure on the disc. For example:

To play, pause, stop or eject an MP3 CD, use the same remote control buttons that you would use as for an audio CD. See Playing a CD for more information.
